Configuring FileStore Settings

The FileStore option helps you to save disk space on system (C:) drive.

The configurable FileStore feature helps the user to save disk space on the System Hard Disk. The default file location for the FileStore is C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local \RepositoryManager\FileStore. However, the FileStore can be moved to a different location after DRM is installed on the system.

This feature allows you to move the FileStore folder from the default drive to another location in the same drive, another drive, or another system on the network.

1.In the Dell Repository Manager window, click Application → Settings → FileStore. The FileStore window is displayed.

2.In the FileStore window, click Browse if you want to save the FileStore to another location on the same drive, another drive, or another computer on your network. By default, DRM creates the FileStore under C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\RepositoryManager\FileStore.

3.Once you Select New FileStore Location click Open.

If you choose to save the file store to a new location, ensure that:

–The destination folder is blank.

–The destination folder is not the same as the source folder.

–You have write permission on the destination folder.

–One of the parent folders is not in use as a FileStore.

NOTE: Ensure that there are no running or queued jobs in the Jobs Queue. While moving the FileStore, DRM will not be able to perform any other operations.
